Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 1-1/2 cups low fat buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 9 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Add onions to a microwave-safe bowl and stir in a dash of olive oil. Cover dish and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until softened.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg, buttermilk and olive oil and whisk thoroughly until combined. Stir in the onion.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, rosemary, 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) of Parmesan cheese, baking soda and garlic powder.
  • Add the egg mixture to the dry flour mixture and stir with a large spoon just until combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 cups of the muffin pan, filling each one about 2/3 full.
  • Sprinkled remaining tablespoon of Parmesan over the muffins. If desired, sprinkle each muffin with coarse sea salt. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until muffin tops are golden.
  • Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature.
  • Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container.
